How it Works

The residual activity of this Group 15 active provides consistent control of grass and broadleaf weeds, with flexible application timing

Requires rainfall to go into solution to then be taken up by the roots and shoots of germinating weeds before or shortly after emergence

Application Tips

Restricted entry interval – 12 hours Minimum seed depth is 2.5 cm for corn and 4 cm for soybeans. Zidua SC herbicide must be applied and activated by moisture prior to weed emergence. When adequate moisture is not received after Zidua SC application, weed control may be improved by irrigation (except flood irrigation). Do not use on peat or muck soils with 7% or more organic matter. Do not apply more than one application of Zidua SC per season.
